While i want to agree with you, i can't actually think of too many examples for this. > Personally, if Mojolicious had the ability to donate through Paypal or > Patreon, I would - it's just that on the Mojolicious site there isn't > anything indicating that donations are accepted :) > For a long time there has been a PayPal button on the frontpage, but there were almost no donations, so i don't believe this works. What i find fascinating about Gittip is the sustainability aspect, you give less, but regularly. You just need a few hundred people that join with $2, and suddenly the community employs someone full time. Add a few companies that can pay more to the mix and it's even easier. :) -- sebastian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mojolicious" group.
